On
July 11, our colleagues and I had a wonderful trip to Thimble Islands. A yellow
school bus was waiting for us in front of the Payne whitney Gym at 1:50pm. It was
a 40 minutes ride to the destination. Since this is the perfect time for us to
take a nap, I almost fell asleep on the bus. When I got off, the gorgeous scenery
immediately attracted my attention, blue sky, changeable white clouds, kids on the
beautiful sand beach, especially the rowing people. In my opinion, this kind of
boat racing needs a lot of practice, but Carrie told me one just need
enough strength to steer and row the boat. How I wish one day I could accomplish the task by myself!

After taking some
photos we boarded a ship and began a cruise. The captain is a nice and humorous
guider, who informed us of the history and some interesting stories about the
island. But please forgive us, poor captain! I felt a little guilty for not
listening to you attentively because we were so attracted by the beautiful view
that kept on taking photos. The cruise lasted about 40 minutes. The bus took us
back to New Haven and it was pleasant to have a relaxing Friday afternoon for
the second week in Yale.
